- Episode 2: “Keep it Up” -

Hi, I’m Sissy, as you remind, I had my first day of school, I was so excited until some things became upside down: I fought with my little brother, the bus left us, I threw an apple that accidentally hit Daisy, a girl from Heredia who threatened me for doing that and who surprisingly was in the same class as me, it scared me a lot, and if that wasn’t enough, she challenged me to a volley duel for tomorrow on recess, the risk is practically high, so I had to train right after I returned home.

*Sissy and Sablo get back to their house*

- Ceci: Hi kids! How was your school day?

- Sablo: It was awesome! I met new friends and a new teacher, but you should also ask Sissy how was her day.

- Sissy:  SHUT UP SABLO!!! Oh, sorry Grandma! No time for explanations, I gotta start practice right now.

- Ceci: Practice what?

- Sissy: It’s a long story.

*Sissy changes her clothes and goes to the backyard with her soccer ball to practice*

- Sissy: OK, here we go… 1,2,3,4,5… *the ball touches the ground* Oh crap! Well, here we go again… 1,2,3,4,5… *ball drops again* DAMN!! I need to concentrate, OK, again… 1.2.3.4.5…

*Alba and Alvin pass next to Sissy’s backyard*

- Alvin: Hey, look Alba! Isn’t that Sissy?

- Alba: Yes, she is, she looks so concentrated, let’s salute her!

Oh yeah, I didn’t presented them they’re Alba and Alvin, they’re twins, they don’t like soccer as some others in my class do, but they always play as referees in every match we play in the recess, they love to do it, they also dream with being professional referees in the future, and trust me, they’re really good on doing that.

- Alvin: Hi Sissy!

- Alba: Hey Sissy, how is it going!

- Sissy: Oh, hi Alba, hi Alvin, just practicing my volleys, it’s a really good exercise.

- Alvin: Yeah, for tomorrows duel with Daisy?

- Sissy: EEEEEEHHH??? WHO TOLD YOU ABOUT IT???

- Alba: Daisy told us that she challenged you to a volleys duel.

- Alvin: Right, she told us that she did it because you threw an apple to her head.

- Sissy: *Thinks: DAMN!! THAT GIRL!! WHO DOES SHE BELIEVE SHE IS??* DON’T TELL ME YOU BOTH WILL BE CHEERING HER!!!

- Alvin: We’re not going to cheer anybody.

- Alba: We will be the judges in your duel, Daisy asked us to do it.

- Sissy: *Thinks: AAAAAAAAHRGGG, I’M GONNA KILL HEEEEEER*

- Alvin: Looks like she needs to practice, we better let her alone.

- Alba: You’re right Alvin. Well, bye Sissy.

- Alvin: Good luck Sissy!

- Sissy: Bye guys, see you tomorrow! *Alvin and Alba go* Ok, let’s start again… 1,2,3,4,5…

Well, well, well, I guess I don’t need to tell you that I couldn’t make more than 5 volleys in a big part of my practice, and when the sun hid and the stars illuminated the sky, I was still in the backyard trying to beat the mark, I wasn’t sure how Daisy could do it, but honestly I didn’t think that 5 volleys are good to win a duel like this one, so I kept practicing until a voice came from inside the house, it was an important voice who was calling me and waiting for me, a voice who said me…

- Ceci: Sissy!! Dinner is ready!! Come to eat!!!

- Sissy: *Thinks: Oh, great!!* I’m going there Grandma!! Just a moment!! 1,2,3,4,5…

- Ceci: *Opens the door and looks to the backyard* Wow Sissy! I knew you like to play volleys, but I’ve never seen you so entertained with it.

- Sissy: Entertained! I’m not entertained with this! But I gotta do it or I’ll lose! 1,2,3,4,5…

- Ceci: Uh, Are you okay Sissy?

- Sissy: Oh yeah! I’ve never better than now! 1,2,3,4,5…

- Ceci: Uh, Sissy: what happens?

- Sissy: *Stops practicing and goes to her grandmother with her head down* Oh Granny, I’m really worried, tomorrow is my volleys duel with the new girl and I can’t lose.

- Ceci: Volleys? New girl?

- Sissy: Yes, and I’m so worried about it!

- Ceci: Well, tell me about it, I’m your granny. *both sit in the playground* what’s up honey? Did you have troubles with your new friend?

- Sissy: She’s not my friend! She became my enemy just before we entered to class after that apple I unintentionally threw to her.

- Ceci: And how do you know she’s your enemy?

- Sissy: Cause she hates me for that.

- Ceci: Are you sure?

- Sissy: Why I shouldn’t?

- Ceci: Listen Sissy, you may believe that you and her are nemesis because of that incident, but believe me, with the time she’ll understand that you didn’t had the intention to hit her with that apple.

- Sissy: But Granny, that time is so long, and our duel is tomorrow, and if I lose she will hit me with an apple.

- Ceci: Sissy, I know it’s not an easy situation, but trust me, I’m sure that at least she had a little of heart when she asked you for this duel.

- Sissy: Why do you think that Granny?

- Ceci: Cause if she didn’t, she would have had hit you in the school, but she gave you a chance to prove your courage and your heart, not in a fight, but in a volleys duel, and that’s what made the difference.

- Sissy: Do you think so Granny?

- Ceci: Yes, that’s how I met my best friend.

- Sissy: Uh? That’s how? How did it happen?

- Ceci: *Looks at sky with stars* When I had your age and I was starting in 8th grade, the first day of school wasn’t the best of all mines, *starts to remind* in fact when I was running to school a displeasing accident occurred, and that’s how it happened.

*Ceci reminds*

- Young Ceci: *Running* Uh, uh, I’m being late, I gotta take the bus before I... *crashes with a girl* Oh, sorry, sorry, I didn’t intend to...

- Girl: WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING TO YOU??? DON’T YOU HAVE EYES???

- Young Ceci: SORRY, SORRY!!! IT WASN’T MY INTENTION, I WAS JUST RUNNING AND…

- Girl: NO EXCUSES!!! I CHALLENGE YOU TO A MARBLES DUEL, IF YOU WIN I’LL PAY YOUR LUNCH AND IF I WIN…

- Young Ceci: IF YOU WIN WHAT???

- Girl: If I win, I’ll do this same thing you did to me, BUT TO YOU!!!

- Young Ceci: *Scared* UHHHHH!!!

- Ceci: *Narrates to Sissy* It was scary cause even if it was an accident she was so angry about it, but I couldn’t stop to think in winning this and avoid more troubles, so the day of the duel I put my heart on this and… I won her! and showing her that I also proved her that heart is what is more important, and then, after the duel she bought me lunch, but…

- Girl: Uh, Ceci.

- Young Ceci: Yes?

- Girl: You showed me you can do all what you propose putting your heart on, that shows you have a great ambitious spirit; you have a lot of goodwill inside you. Here’s what I promised, *extends hand with a lunch bag bought in the cafeteria* this is your lunch, enjoy it. *goes away in a sad mood*

- Young Ceci: *Thinks for a moment* HEY!!!

- Girl: Huh?

- Young Ceci: Wanna eat the half of this?

- Girl: Uh, thank you, but I can’t, it’s your prize, not the mine.

- Young Ceci:  Yes, but I want to celebrate this with you!

- Girl: Celebrate? But I got nothing to celebrate!

- Young Ceci: Yes, you have something really special to celebrate.

- Girl: What?

- Young Ceci: That you gain a new friend. *aww*

- Girl: Uh, I don’t know what to say. *blushes*

- Young Ceci: *Aww expression* Come here, lunch is getting cold!

- Girl: Yes! *Goes to Ceci to share the luch*

*End of flashback*

- Ceci: And after that, our friendship became unbreakable, we will never forget that moment when a hate duel became the start of a beautiful friendship.

- Sissy: Aww, that’s so sweet Grandma. But do you think Daisy could be that similar?

- Ceci: Well, only you can discover it; read her heart, you’ll know what her heart says to you and you’ll find the answer, for now, the most important is that you don’t forget to put yours on this, I know that if you do it, you’ll win not just for the sake of winning, but to prove that you put it in everything that you do, I know that you are able to do so.

- Sissy: Aww, thank you Granny, *hug each other* I’ll do what it takes to prove my courage.

- Ceci: That’s my little granddaughter! *release from hug* Now let’s eat, you’ll want to accumulate energies for tomorrow.

- Sissy: Yummy! I’m hungry, I need to eat for being stronger for tomorrow.

- Ceci: Well, let’s go honey! Food is getting cold! *Goes inside the house*

- Sissy: Following you Grandma! *Goes inside the house*

- Ceci: *Turns back to Sissy* By the way Sissy.

- Sissy: Yes Granny?

- Ceci: I forgot to ask you something.

- Sissy: What Grandma?

- Ceci: How did that apple got to hit Daisy?

- Sissy: Well, it happened when Sablo was disturbing me, so I took an apple from my backpack and I……………………………… *scared* HUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHH????????????

Well, as you can guess I promised not to use anything I have next to me as a weapon, less with Sablo, and I hope you don’t do the same even to your worst enemy cause it will hurt you rather than the person you hit.

But well, we better jump that part and go to the next day, I felt a little more calmed after Grandma told me all those wise words, but when recess was even closer, nerves were eating me, and unfortunately, there was some people who made me feel more nervous than I was.

- Sissy: *Keeps looking at her watch and whispers*  One hour left, one hour left, one hour left, one hour left…

- Teacher Ivonne: Uh, Sissy.

- Sissy: Uh, yes teacher?

- Teacher Ivonne: Are you paying attention?

- Sissy: Uh, yes ma’am, just looking at the hour.

- Teacher Ivonne: Well, OK, Sissy, but please pay more attention when we’re in class, OK?

- Sissy: OK teacher, I will.

- Daisy: *Whispers* Don’t forget our duel today you little blondie, I’ll be waiting for you to smash you as a cockroach!

- Sissy: *Quietly speaking* UHHHH!! *Thinks* Calm down Sissy! This is just a little duel! All this madness will finish after this!

*Bell rings and everybody go to the schoolyard, then the duel is about to start*

- Alvin: OK girls, rules are simple, you can use every part of the body you want except the arms and hands, once the ball touches the soil your turn will finish, and the one who makes more volleys wins, is everything clear?

- Sissy and Daisy: YES!!!

- Alba: Ok, now choose a side of the coin, shield or crown?

- Sissy: I pick shield!

- Daisy: OK, I go with the crown.

- Alba: OK, let’s go *flips the coin* It’s shield!

- Sissy: OK, I go first!

- Daisy: This is the only time you win me you bulbhead, prepare to lose!

- Sissy: *Thinks* No Sissy, don’t distract yourself, just put your heart on this!

- Alvin: OK, GO!

- Sissy: 1,2,3,4,5,6, (*Thinks* HEY, I DID IT, I MADE MORE THAN 5!) 7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15. *the ball touches the soil*

- Alba: 15 TOUCHES! NOW IT’S DAISY’S TURN!

- Daisy: *Thinks* Hehe, this will be easy!

- Alvin: OK, GO!

- Daisy: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15…

- Sissy: *Thinks* OH NO, THIS COULDN’T BE HPPENING!!!

- Daisy: …16,17,18,19,20,21,22. *The ball drops*

- Alba: 22 TOUCHES, DAISY IS THE WINNER!!!

- Daisy: YAHOOOOO!!!! I DID IT, I DEFEATED HER, NOW IT’S MY TIME TO REVENGE!!!

- Sissy: Oh no, I can’t believe it!!!

- Daisy: *Jumps and sings* I DEFEATED THE BLONDIE, I DEFEATED THE BLONDIE, I DEFEATED THE BLONDIE, I THEFEATED THE BLONDAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!! *stumbles with a stone and falls down* OUUUUCH, MY KNEEEEEE!!!!!

- Daisy: Yes, yes, it’s just a little scratch, I’ll be fine I just have to stand up and… *tries to stand up but falls* OUCH!!!!

- Sissy: *Concerned* Stay there Daisy, don’t try to stand up!

- Daisy: I said I’m fine, it’s just a little scratch!

- Sissy: *Looks at Daisy’s injury and scares* Oh my God, Daisy, your knee is bleeding!!!

- Daisy: Bah, it’s not that serious, I just gotta stand up and… *tries to stand up but falls* OUCH!!!

- Sissy: Calm down Daisy! I know something about first aid! Alba!

- Alba: Yes Sissy?

- Sissy: Go to the classroom and look for a bottle of alcohol, some cotton and some bandages I got in my backpack, they’re in the second pocket.

- Alba: OK, I’m going! *goes*

- Sissy: Alvin, go to bring some water, the injury is dirty aid I need to wash it!

- Alvin: OK. *goes*

- Daisy: Why don’t you go, you’re the one who knows what you need!

- Sissy: I can’t leave you alone, that’s the first rule when you help somebody who needs it.

- Daisy: UUUHHH???

- Alba: Here’s the alcohol Sissy!

- Alvin: And here’s the water!

- Sissy: Thank you guys, now please don’t move Daisy, this will hurt you a little! *pours the water over Daisy’s knee*

- Daisy: OUCH! THAT HURTS!!

- Sissy: Keep calmed please!!! *moistens a cotton ball with alcohol and cleans Daisy’s knee injury*

- Daisy: OOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUCH!!!!!!  THAT REALLY HURTS!!!!!!

- Sissy: Don’t worry Daisy, I’m almost finishing. *covers the injury with bandages* OK, it’s ready! Alba! Help me to carry Daisy to the nursery!

- Alba: Yes Sissy! *Helps Sissy to carry Daisy to the nursery*

- Alvin: Wait girls! I’m going too!

*Some minutes later in the nursery*

*Nurse Eva appears*

- Sissy: How’s she?

- Nurse Eva: She’s fine, fortunately her injury wasn’t so serious.

- Sissy: Oh, thank God!

- Nurse Eva: You did a great job Sissy! Thanks to you her bleeding has stopped in a considerable way, I really admire what you did to help her.

- Sissy: Uh, it wasn’t nothing *blushes*, just helping people.

- Nurse Eva: Well, if you want wait for Daisy here, she’ll be ready in a moment.

- Sissy: OK, thank you Ms. Eva.

*Daisy gets out of the nursery*

- Sissy: Daisy!

- Daisy: Hi Sissy.

- Sissy: I can’t believe you can walk now!

- Daisy: Well, it wasn’t that serious as I said before, hehe.

- Sissy: Oh, by the way, I got something for you. *Takes an apple out of her pocket* Take this! *gives the apple to Daisy in her hand*

- Daisy: Uh, why are you giving this to me?

- Sissy: Don’t you remember? I lost! It’s your time to charge the bet, so go ahead, throw it to hit me.

- Daisy: *Grabs the apple and takes position but keeps it*

- Sissy: Go ahead Daisy, I lost the duel, now accomplish your promise!!!

- Daisy: *The hand with the apple quivers*

- Sissy: WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR??? YOU ARE THE WINNER!!! I’M THE LOSER!!! NOW GIVE ME THE PUNISH I DESERVE!!!

- Daisy: *Her hand quivers* I can’t! *releases the apple*

- Sissy: Uh? Aren’t you going to throw me that?

- Daisy: *Speaks with a calmed voice* No, I can’t do that, you cured my injury, thanks to you my pain is relieving, you were worried about me, that shows the pureness of your heart, and I can’t make feel pain to somebody who made me feel relief.

- Sissy: Uh?

- Daisy: Sissy, after the incident I thought you were an evil spectrum, but now that I know you better, I see you’re like an angel. Sissy: Thank you!!!

- Sissy: *Blushes* Uh, you’re welcome, Daisy!

- Daisy: *Extends her hand* Friends?

- Sissy: *Shakes Daisy’s hands* Friends! *they hug each other*

- Daisy: Now, wanna go for some lunch? I wanna invite my new friend to the luch she deserves!

- Sissy: Totally agree Daisy, but don’t worry, I’ll invite you, that’s what friends are for!

- Daisy: Oh, no no, don’t worry I wanna invite you to thank you for what you did for me.

- Sissy: Oh please, you don’t need to, I’ll better invite you to show my affection to you.

- Daisy: No, I said I’ll invite you and I’ll keep my promise.

- Sissy: But I want to invite you!

- Daisy: I SAID I’LL INVITE YOU AND THAT’S OVER!!!

- Sissy: NO, I’LL DO!!!

- Daisy: I’LL DO!!!

- Sissy: I’LL DO!!!

- Daisy: I SAID I WAS GOING TO INVITE YOU STRAWHEAD!!!

- Sissy: AND I REPEAT YOU FOR UMPTHEENT TIME THAT I’LL DO IT HORSE ASS-HEAD!!!

- Daisy: I’LL INVITE YOU!!!

- Sissy: NO, I’LL DO!!!

- Daisy: I SAID I’LL DO!!!

- Sissy: NO, I REPEAT I’LL DO!!!

*Alba and Alvin talk while Sissy and Daisy keep discussing*

- Alba: hey Alvin, do you think we should stop them?

- Alvin: I don’t think so Alba, after all that’s how every beautiful friendship starts.

- Alba: Yeah, you’re totally right Alvin.

Well, in fact Alba and Alvin were right, just like my Grandma, after all every friendship has that kind of accidented beginning, but the most important thing is that everything finishes when the conflict goes down, and well, thankfully Daisy and I keep being really good friends, who else will be, well, only the destiny knows it, and I’m sure it has some exciting surprise waiting for me and for you in the next episodes. Bye!
The second episode of my soccer character series "Barra". A little more dramatic than the first one.

Hope you like it.
